Connecting to home wifi with X8 / X10

I wonder whether anyone might be able to shed some light in a minor irritation I have when connercting my X10 and X8 to my home wifi, please? It might well be a router issue, rather than the phones, but grateful for any thoughts. When I try to connect my phone to the wifi, it shows that my home network is available and with a good signal, but when I try to connect, the phone will think about it for a while, try to connect and then come up with a message saying 'unsuccessful'. If I pull the power cord from the router and put it back in, then try to connect the phone again, it almost invariably works and stays connected as it should. The wifi is secured with WPA and the phones will sometimes show WPA and at other times WPA2 or (I think, from memory) WPA-PSK. The phones connect easily to unsecured wifi, in places such as public libraries - and neighbours who haven't put any security on their wifi systems...! At other times, the phone will connect automatically as soon as I get home, presumably when I have forgotten to switch off the connection when I go out. What I'd really like to do is for the phone to do that every time I get within reach of my router (D-Link DIR-615, if that means anything to anybody and is of any relevance) Any thoughts or suggestions, please, anyone?

I did have a similar issue, however I got around this by installing Wifistatic from the Market, getting the phone to forget the network, disconnect and then reconnect power to the router after which I have not had any issues connecting to my router.

jornjr,
Hmm, that is odd let's get to the bottom of this and ensure you can connect to all wifi connections. Please try this: Settings> WiFi> Menu> Advanced> Uncheck Smart Network Switch. Also ensure your "Keep WiFi on during sleep" here are the steps for that: Settings> WiFi> Menu> Advanced> Ensure Keep WiFi on during sleep is set to "Always". Please let us know if this helps.

HT204409 Cannot connect to home wifi with iPhone 4s.

IMy iphone does not see my home wifi. Nothing has changed, even after IOS 6. My Ipad and iMAC see and connect just fine. I reset everything on the modem and computers and again everything connects except the 4S. I have verified and or reset all settings including no security. It sees all the other netowrks in the area too. Any suggestion.

If there is no problem with the iPhone seeing any other available wi-fi networks or connecting with any other wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, not sure how it can't be a problem with your wireless router or network regardless if the iPad and iMac have no problem.
No change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Trouble connecting to home WIFI with iphone5

Hi, I am currently experience technifcal difficulties with connecting to the internet (WIFI) with the iPhone 5.
After a day of purchasing the phone i have already used half of my internet data plan....assumingly that i was using WIFI as i have connected it to my home network..however that did not work and now i cant log into the intet using my own home WIFI
Will getting a new iPhone 5 help solve this issues?
Please help!!!

The iPhone is designed after a period of non-use to disconnect the wifi, however upon waking the phone it should reconnect within a few seconds. You can try and forget the network and reset network settings, that may fix your issue. You can forget the network by going to Settings, wifi, and tap on the little blue arrow to the right side of your wifi network. Once that next screen opens, you can select Forget this network. Then try and connect again, put in the password and see if it connects. If not, go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings, Then try and join again.

Connecting to Home WiFi with Belkin Router

Hi guys,
love my itouch, just cant get it to connect properly with my router. My settings confirm im connected ok (ive input my password as requested), but when i use safari or try to collect my emails im told my itouch can connect to the server. Do i need to manually input more settings (and if so, what are they....?) When i attach to other routers i have no such problems, straight into safari and straight into my emails....
At a loss, so any help geatfully received!!
Cheers

hello
i may have a solution for you.
Do you have any computers connected to the network?
if so, then what firewall software is installed?
I had the same problem, and it was very annoying. All i did was add every conceivable ip address that my router could give to my ipod into the 'safe ip's' section of my firewall software. It instantly started working.
Give it a try!

TS1398 Unable to connect to home wifi

I'm unable to connect to home wifi with iphone. My computer is able to connect as usual.

Buried deep in that link is a suggestion to turn the router off and on again to reboot it. This should be the FIRST thing you try, not the last. It will usually resolve the problem.

I am having problems connecting to home wifi. It was working, but now all I get is a blank white screen. I re-booted with no success.

I'm trying to connect to my home wifi with my imac gh5. After I enter the password it says connection timeout or password incorrect. I know there's no issue with the connection but I don't know what else to do. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

What is the make & model of your home Wi-Fi router that you are attempting to connect your G5 iMac to? Which exact model of iMac do you have?
What wireless security type is your router using: WEP, WPA, or WPA2? If you temporarily disable wireless security, can the iMac connect to it now?

I suddenly cannot connect to any wifi with my ipad 1. In settings my wifi is turned on. My home connection shows up under Choose a network and has a strong signal.

IPhone will not connect to home WiFi

new iPhone 4 6.0 will not connect to home wifi--other apple products (iPad & other iPhone 4) will connect to home WiFi--I experienced this problem with first iPhone 4 received 11/13--got new phone 11/26 and STILL can not connect

Is this a password protected network? Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, try to connect again. This reset will remove all password and wifi information from the device and should give you a clean start to connect to the home network.

Connecting to home WiFi network

I have a MacBook 13", an iPhone 4 and an iPad 64 GB WiFi connected to my wireless network. I am using a LinkSys BEFW1154 version 2 wireless router. I just purchased another iPad 64 GB WiFi/3G. I cannot get the new iPad to connect to the wireless network. I enter the password, which I have checked, and it says it is not the correct password. Any suggestions.

This type of thing keeps happening to me with my iPhone (3G, 4.3.5). I join my home WiFi with no problems, download email, surf, whatever. Then put phone down and do something else.
Next time I go to iPhone the little wheels go round and round and NOTHING happens. I have to keep switching it off and on again and repeat the loop, again and again .... Why is this?
Rather than hijack cotton70's thread with an unrelated problem on an IPhone (this is the iPad forum and cotton70 can't connect) why not start a new thread for your problem in the iPhone forum?

IPhone 4s connected to home wifi but won't allow connection to internet etc...

We recently received a new modem from the cable/internet company and although the iPhones indicate they are connected to home wifi they won't connect to facebook, yahoo, google, update email. Basically we are using our data in our home with a working internet. The computers are working fine. I have spent a few hours with the cable company and the phone company trying to solve this issue. They both say it is an issue with the other party....we have not update to the new OS yet... could this be a setting issue within the phone not responding to the new modem? Should we try updating the phones OS?
my kids are running through their data...any advice would be helpful. I have already had to pay for the unsuccessful help of the cable company.

Iphone 5 not connecting to home wifi

Hi,
I have a problem with my iPhone 5 not connecting to my home wifi. This is a recent (just today) issue, it has been connecting with no problem for over 2 years and remembering the password.
Today
It sees my SSID, if I click on it I get asked for the password - I enter the password (checked with my router settings and correct), and I get the message:
"Incorrect Password for "SSID" (name changed)
What I have done:
1. I have rebooted the phone (failed to fix)
2. I have reset my Network settings on the phone (failed to fix & mashed all my email settings)
3. I have backed up my phone to iTunes (BUT NOT RESTORED IT - YET)
4. I have rebooted my (netgear DGN1000 router) (failed to fix).
5. I have reset my router to factory settings, and whilst set with factory resets, tried to connect my phone (phone failed to recognise the default password)
6. I have reset my SSID and password to my preferences.
7. I reset my wireless encryption to "disable", and get message on the phone "Unable to join the network "SSID" (the lock icon disappeared off my phone)
8. I reset the encryption, the lock icon re-appeared, and I get message "Incorrect password..."
9. Other items: ipad air, Kindle Fire HD, iPhone 4 - all connect to the wifi with no problems, did before and still do now.
10 Been to the O2 store (O2 are my provider), and the phone connected to their In Store wifi with no issues (they say no fault on phone)
11. I have rung Virgin media (my landline & internet provider) and they have checked my router settings (they are OK) and advise me they can't help with the phone as it's "..an unsupported device.."
Stuck now! &

zolala:
Virgin media is my internet provider, and I have rung them too; They talked me through the router settings, but the iPhone is "unsupported".
My router settings are correct.
Can you explain "...are you using Apple Airport Extreme for hm network?..." please?
raymond73:
I have an "old Dlink GSL624" and I dug this out, but can't find the factory code for the passphrase (I had to reset to factory default)
If nothing else works, I'll get onto Virgin media and threaten to move isp unless they send me a new router. I have been with them for - well the days of dial up - well over 10 years probably.
I am currently restoring the iPhone to its factory default. I will set up as a new phone to test, and IF it works, I'll then restore to backup - If it stops working after this, I'll have to copy all my contacts somehow, and then start from scratch again.
Any idea how I can copy just my contacts somewhere I can restore them from easily?
Thanks

Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi. Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago. Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi. This iphone belongs to son who is autistic. I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated. Have reset router but no change.

Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem. Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398. Specifically the "forget this network" step. I would also consider resetting the wifi network password. Sometimes that will allow a connection.
